[users@httpd] Content-Type text.html for DirectoryIndex (1.3.x)

[Jonathan Hayward <ch...@gmail.com>]

I am getting an error in my log if I visit
http://jonathanscorner.com/admin/but not
http://jonathanscorner.com/admin/index.html under Apache 1.3.x. The two
URL's serve up the same file; on a visit to
http://jonathanscorner.com/admin/ , DirectoryIndex pulls up the same
index.html (that directory has no index.cgi/index.php/etc.). The message
logged is:

[warn] Cannot get media type from 'text.html'

Is there any way in httpd.conf or .htaccess that I can get
DirectoryIndex-served files to be assigned Content-Type "text/html" and not
"text.html"? I haven't had success with variants on

<FilesMatch "^.*/$">
AddType text/html
</FilesMatch>

because AddType requires a second argument, an extension, and neither "" nor
* nor an omitted extension will match a directory with a trailing slash and
no extension.

Is there any way that DirectoryIndex-served files can be specified to be
text/html?

[Jonathan Hayward <ch...@gmail.com>]

I've found a partial workaround for this.

I commented out:

    #RewriteRule ^/index.html$ / [R=301,L]

And wrote another RewriteRule:

    RewriteRule ^(.*/)$ $1index.html [L]

The same URL is displayed; load http://jonathanscorner.com/admin/ and
the URL displayed in the browser window is the URL you typed in. But
besides the scenes it pulls the index.html file and sidesteps
DirectoryIndex before DirectoryIndex can assign a Content-Type of
"text.html" (or anything else).

N.B. I modified this to:

    RewriteRule ^/psalms/$ /psalms/index.cgi [L]
    RewriteRule ^(.+/)$ $1index.html [L]

as most directories have an index.html, but
http://jonathanscorner.com/ and http://jonathanscorner.com/psalms/ use
an index.cgi. As a later modification I moved the latter rule to the
end of the RewriteRules for that host, as it was preventing rewrites
from an old directory to a new directory.

I now can load URLs either like http://jonathanscorner.com/psalms/
(index.cgi) or http://jonathanscorner.com/dream/ (index.html) and have
the same browser behavior, but when I load it I don't get the
text.html warning in my error log.

So far since restarting I haven't seen any further text.html warnings.

I'd love to be able to fix the problem properly and at its source...

you apparently have misconfigured something, apache thinks the type is
text.html instead of text/html. check configs and .htaccess files.

The directory index is mapped to a file and the file is processed as it type
defines. fot .html it should be text/html.
